Your First Runs
If this is your first gas car, we highly recommend
that you have an experienced gas car driver
help during the first startups and runs. He will
be able help you properly adjust your engine for
break-in and then tune your engine for reliable
performance.
Before attempting to start your new buggy, be
sure to read this section and fully understand
each step before starting your engine. Pay
particular attention to the needle settings
recommended for starting and to the break-in
procedures suggested below. Using the Proper
Fuel and Glow Plug
Fuel and Glow Plug
Note : Using the proper fuel and glow plug is
vital in achieving reliable performance and is
a must for long engine life. You must use fuel
and glow plugs that are specifically designed
for model car use.
Never use any type of model airplane glow fuel!
We recommend a high-quality car fuel containing
20% nitro methane (Blue Thunder 20% Sport fuel
is recommended). A glow plug is included that
is ideal for breaking-in your new engine. During
the break-in process, it’s not uncommon to go
through one or two glow plugs, as microscopic
particles of metal (from the cylinder/piston
wearing in) bond themselves to the plug element
causing glow plug failure. We recommend the
Sportwerks #3 Glow Plug (SWK8058) as the best
replacement glow plug for this engine.
Air Filter
A clean, properly oiled air filter is a must to keep
dirt out of the engine. Using the included air filter
oil, spread the oil uniformly onto the air filter
allowing it to saturate the foam element.
